Missouri has two forms of expungement, one generally applicable to criminal cases and a unique one for the crime of being a minor in possession of alcohol. == Ordinary expungement == If certain requirements are met, Missouri law allows a person to have an arrest record expunged, which the law of Missouri defines as the process of legally destroying, obliterating or striking out records or information in files, computers and other depositories relating to criminal charges.〔Chapter 610, Revised Statutes of Missouri (R.S.Mo.)〕 A person is eligible for expungement in Missouri if the arrest was based on false information ''and'' the following conditions exist:〔 #There is no probable cause to believe the person committed the offense; #No charges will be pursued as a result of the arrest; #The person has no prior or subsequent misdemeanor or felony convictions; #The person did not receive a suspended imposition of sentence for the offense; and #No civil action is pending relating to the arrest or records sought to be expunged. If a person qualifies, in order to have the records expunged, they must file a verified petition for expungement in the civil division of the Circuit Court in the county of the arrest.〔 The court sets a hearing on the matter no sooner than thirty days after the petition was filed.〔 If the court finds that the petitioner is entitled to expungement of any record, it will enter an order directing expungement.〔 Records expunged under this provision still may be opened to law enforcement if the person is charged with a subsequent offense or if any of the requirements of expungement no longer are met.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Expungement in Missouri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
